How To Post A Photo To Instagram


To begin, I opened up Instagram on my smartphone as well as here's exactly what I saw:


It's a little bit confusing, but the button on the bottom that's highlighted in blue? That's not the present view you have, although that's certainly an usual user interface convention. You get on the major feed which is accessed by the home button on the lower left. Strange, I recognize.

Tap on the camera symbol on the bottom-- center!-- with the blue highlight. Now your camera will turn on as well as you'll see a sneak peek of the picture you will take:


To take a picture, faucet on the blue button. Making a (brief) video clip, faucet on the video camera icon to the right of the button.

If you're participating in a concert, checking out a scenic place, at a seminar, all these likely have hashtags you can use to assist your pictures obtain visibility. Then again, if that seems frustrating, don't worry about it as well as just add an intriguing and/or amusing message.

If there are well-known people in the images who are also on Instagram, faucet "Tag People" as well as determine them.
